I recently purchased a TA05 drift conversion kit from Broadtech. Because I had a V1 TA05, I ended up buying all the extra bits (bulkheads, front and lower arms, etc) - to make up a complete chassis. I mostly drift on tarmac.

I think removing the front spool and change it for a ball diff or oneway (whatever suits you best) will improve it. Also i think your CS ratio is way to high, which could result in the tailhappiness, because it makes it very nervous to control.Adding some rear Toe might help out a bit too.

The only real advice i can give you is to check out other ER conversions on this forum and on hyperdrift to see what others have for a set.

Yeah, CS is fine. I'm running at 2.23 with no problems. Its all smooth easy throttle and your suspension setup. The suspension setup is the biggest factor to how the car handles.

Make sure your shocks are rebounding the same. If they are, I would then adjust shock position. The more layed down they are, the looser the rear end. He more upright, he more stiff the rear end. Moving your rear shocks to different angles makes the world of difference. I had the same problem and just moved my shocks more upright and the problem was solved.

A stiffer front end give it a little more bite and allows it to recover a little more. Adding weight also has the sane effect and it adds a little more preload due to the increase of weight. I'm running 35g weights, so I think your pretty close to where you need to be. Just adjust the shock position.

Really, the only things that will effect handling is the setup or the person controlling the car. CS setups are all bout getting the feel of the car down whether its 50/50 or 250%. Too powerful of a motor could too, but that's not the case given what you've listed.

definitely keep the spool in the rear. The center one way Im not a fan of because over time it wears out the shaft and I personally dont think its as responsive as having the front one way. Some people like to just run a tight diff up front. Its really preference.

Im running a front one way(after having a center for a little while) with a solid spool in the rear. Thats just me though. I like how when you let off the throttle to switch just a hair, as soon as you get back into to it it seems to grip a little quicker. At least thats what Ive experience.

The biggest thing though is suspension setup. You can run any number of those setups and it will all handle differently. The trick is matching your suspension setup to make it work good.

I run my rear suspension at more of an angle than the front, but since going to a large CS, its creeped to a little more upright. Usually just one or two spaces makes the world of difference on how the rear responds.

I have been playing around with a number of variables which has definitely settled things down a little. I'm waiting for my Broadtech delivery (one way and a longer suspension block). The TRFs have also been rebuilt, again with the Hamster mod. I'm using 250 in the rear and 350 in the front.

Have any of you had any experience with the Eagle Racing drift springs? I think that the Tamiya red springs are still a little too hard. With 2.2 - the biggest lesson is learning not to turn in and more about getting the weight to shift. I definitely need to spend time practicing my throttle control!

Softer springs will give more traction, so more speed, and with a 2.2 ratio you'll need to do anything to get more speed as i've learned myself I think i have gone pretty soft, namely ultra soft springs at the rear and super soft at front together with a #250 damper oil. Also kick up, front AND rear will improve traction noticable

I have no experience with the Eagle Springs, i can only recommend the progressive springs from Square

Yeah, mines not quite as soft in the rear, but pretty close. Im still running stock spring tough(may change soon). In the front Im running a much heavier oil though(associated 55wt). I also have found that speed is highly dependent on the tire you run as well. T-Drifts and Raikou dxpe70 both seem to have the best results as far as grip/slip and still keeping a good amount of speed.

My ratio is 38/14 front and 28/23 in the rear so my CS ratio for front and rear are pretty close as well.

I think one of the main problems with my over steer problem is my throttle control.In frustration - I reduced my CS to 71%. Definitely a lot more stability - although, I still need to get used to holding it.Unfortunately - due to a strike within our postal service - my front 1 way, 1D suspension block and softer springs are all waiting for them to be processed!

Is there a maximum amount of camber that one should consider?Im currently running -5 degrees on the front and -2. If I had to reduce to front contact patch of the wheels (-8 degrees) - would that create understeer?
